Plot
The player character is a young apprentice swordsman who sets out to rid the world of monsters following the death of his mentor.
Gameplay
Swordigo is a side-scrolling action-adventure game in which the player can run, jump, swing their sword, and use magic spells. By defeating enemies, the player will gain experience; upon levelling up, they can choose to upgrade one of their attributes (health, attack power, or magic.) They will also find new items and equipment that will make them more powerful and grant new abilities (bombs blow up walls, lightning hits far-away switches, etc.), additionally being able to buy items from shops using money reaped from defeated enemies. The player can bring up a map at any time, which keeps track of their location and the areas they have already visited; they will also find portals that will allow them to quickly backtrack to previous areas.
